Swift & Co: bringing back the manufacture of stylish footwear to Lancashire

I came across Swift & Co at Best of Britannia earlier this summer. Based in Burnley, Lancashire, Swift has been a family business for some generations and Richard Swift has set out to bring back footwear manufacture to East Lancashire. In this video, he tells us more about his shoes.

Technology And Tradition - An Introduction To Swift

They look well-made and lightweight with soft uppers and a comfortable technical sole and heel. As the image of their suede boots below shows (this is one of several styles available), they are also very stylish. I plan to try out a pair soon and will report back then.

Richard will be starting a Kickstarter campaign soon and I'll tell you more about that and the brand when that happens. Meanwhile, click here to go to the Swift & Co website.
